A Jersey City man has filed a police report claiming he was harassed by a man working on the crew filming the Jersey Shore spinoff that stars Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Jenni "JWoww" Farley, officials said today.

The 27-year-old man was on Newark Avenue Downtown on Tuesday when he saw the film crew and others with still cameras and someone told him an MTV show was being recorded, reports said.

The man said he took out his phone and was recording a video of the production when a man he believes was working with the video crew told him to back up, reports said. The 27-year-old asked "What did I do wrong?" and the crew member responded "Nothing. You are about to get run over by paparazzi," reports said.

The Jersey City man said the crew member then told him he was in the way, spread his arms and started walking toward him until the two made contact, reports said.

The Downtown man approached Jersey City police officers assigned to the production and was told to go to the police station if he wanted to file a report, reports said.

At the police station an officer took a statement from the Downtown man and told him that if he wanted to file a criminal complaint, he should go to Jersey City Municipal Court.
